GEORGIA APPLICATIONS FOR PRODUCTION AND DISPENSING LICENSES

GEORGIA APPLICATIONS FOR PRODUCTION AND DISPENSING LICENSES

CLASS 1 PRODUCTION LICENSE 

Allows for production licensees to grow cannabis in indoor facilities for use in producing low THC (limited to 5% THC) oil, limited to 100,000 square feet of cultivation space and manufacture low THC oil and products. 

CLASS 2 PRODUCTION LICENSE 

Allows for production licensees to grow cannabis in indoor facilities for use in producing low THC oil, limited to 50,000 square feet of cultivation space and manufacture low THC oil and products.

DISPENSING LICENSE
